Optical Fiber Cables - DIRECT BURIED

PTCL Cables offers Steel Tape Armored Optical Fiber Cables which has been popular cabling solution for Outside Plant Applications. Corrugated Steel Tape and a Robust Polyethylene Outer Jacket combine to deliver rugged durability and added rodent resistance. These cables are manufactured according to international standard.

APPLICATIONS

  • Direct Buried Installation
  • Data, Video, Voice
    Transmission
  • Rodent Resistant

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

  • Loose Tube filled with Gel
  • Stranded around Central Strength Member
  • Water Blocking Material
  • Polyethylene Inner Sheath
  • Corrugated Steel Tape Armour and a Robust
    Polyethylene Outer Jacket

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  • The unique extruding technology provides the
    fibers in the tube with good flexibility and bending
    endurance
  • The unique fiber excess length control method
    provides the cable with excellent mechanical and
    environmental properties
